What is the name of this pattern? It is wonderful - I think it is totally gorgeous, and I would never have noticed the "misaligned" border bits if you hadn't mentioned them. Especially after the whole thing is quilted, and has a bit more texture, I doubt anyone would see them.

Your color scheme is great. I can't believe it is possible to make that many busy prints play nicely together...but you certainly have!!

( I had already purchased the POC phamphlet from Backdoor Quilts)

imho, I think it will be perfect using your plan to keep the edge shape and not square it off or fill it in. This looks like heirloom standards to me. Fabulous. Love your choice of fabrics for this beauty. Please keep us updated as you progress.
peace

I'm with everyone else. The quilt is going to be gorgeous and the wicker fabric reads like well aligned dots. Great job and share again when you are finished.
